Hi @yistLin I came upon your repository regarding the rasiosity light modeling and I am trying to get an understanding about it. Thus, I have some questions.

  1. Could please explain what is the difference between the reflectivity

    reflectivity: np.ndarray, shape=(3,)
    and refl variables. If I get it correctly the refl is the diffuse reflectance factor rho/ρ, known also as Kd. Then what is reflectivity related to?

  2. With emission

    emission: np.ndarray, shape=(3,)
    if I am not wrong you describe the self-emittance of the patches, is that right? So for non-light source patches it should be 0.

  3. Why do you describe emission, reflectivity and radiosity with 3 values?

  4. If I get it correctly the spec variable is the Ks correspondence but then what refr is? Is it related with the ambient reflectance, Ka?

Thanks.
